Hi everyone.
We just moved into this property abd random eggs kept showing up in random places like driveway, stone deco and under the tree. We often have mallard ducks and paradise shelducks visiting the pond nearby. We picked up 4 eggs in total at different week during last 30 days. We didnt think much when we 1st start so only using homemade incubator. Manual temp check only. Attached pic is egg#1. I boosted up the humidity and did the candling on day 25 it was still moving but on day 28 it didnt hatch so i did the candling and water test.. It was still moving but not as active. I noticed that on day 25 the air cell still relatively small comparing to other info i got from this site.. And day 30 morning the temp on egg#1 dropped to 36.6C while other eggs are nearly 38C. My heart sunk when i see Egg#1 no movement when i candle it, i found 2 tiny holes (circled in green) on the smaller end of egg.. What are those? Is the chick not developed in time? Is it because i add more water to boost up the humidity? Did water goes in thru the tiny holes when i did the water test?
Im so sad i still have 3 eggs going at different days now i feel like their hope has just diminished and will ended up the same.
Please see photos.. Is it still alive? What possibly gone wrong?? Im so sad that i might have caused it..
